I can certainly help you - I have been doing this for many years, and have excellent references.


I charge ?30/hour if you are local, but the first 20 minutes are free in order for you to decide if I know what I am talking about - and can also help you to understand (so that you will not need me the next time!).


If you prefer, call me on 07973 269654 to discuss (for example, if you need to get files from a PC or another Mac onto your new machine)


Regards

Francis

hi Francis

are you able to help with simple things (though not for me!!) like setting up another google account, setting up wireless, that sort of thing. I know it's basic..but so am I ....!! could you pm me with some references and availability over the next couple of weeks? thanks

I would personally question an engineer whom advises other forumites that it's OK to use illegal file sharing sites on a computer that is just as vulnerable to attack as a PC.

Hackers, Virus, Trojans, malware, keyloggers etc play a numbers game. Window users make up the vast majority of computer users, and so are the main focus for attack.

Two answers to 'safe'.

1) If you have an Apple computer, it cannot be damaged by downloading a rogue file. Windows is much more vulnerable.

2) There is a very remote possibility that if you did this a lot, you might receive a warning from your Internet Service Provider.


Note: many ISPs block the main Pirate Bay site (but there are ways around this).


Hope this helps.

    • Hi, I'm looking to find a recommendation for a good orthodontist who works with children. We live in East Dulwich, so someone local would be good. But also prepared to travel further afield or into the city if needs be. Stu  
    • Actually far better than I anticipated.  My usual viewings from the kitchen are of the feeders that for whatever reason appear less visited.  But upstairs, and doing it for the whole hour we spotted many more species, and with the help of the bird song app saw wrens, and probably a black cap.  We caught a brief view of a small flock of long tailed tits, and were pleased to see far more gold finches than we expected, so numbers not as decimated, following sub freezing nights a few weeks ago, as thought. No sparrow hawks, probably only see one a decade, and expect that they are more interested in wood pigeons than sparrars.
    • So we have been through millions of years of evolution just to be abusive to people?  Irrespective of your beliefs, and I am certainly a non-believer, I wouldn't be abusive.  Just ignore or if you are that bothered argue back. I pass preachers all the time ranting in Peckham.  I generally chuckle to myself but in the past have been happy to debate with JWs when they call, although they usually leave fairly quickly as they don't agree with my views, including bullying me as nine year old with tales of the end of the world. Sadly Christian fundamentalism from the times of the crusades, conquistadors and now Trump's America has so much to answer for.
